Idk what to caption this. Anyone put suggestions, I guess.
The Mystery Gang are all actually friends and hang out together at each other’s houses and make jokes and act like real teenagers
We also see their families for the first time and they’re all great. Daphne has a huge house and 4 sisters, Shaggy is weirdly rich as well, Fred lives in a McMansion with the mayor (adoptive father), and Velma’s parents run a museum dedicated to the Gang’s solved mysteries (all of which are references to the 1969 series)
Scooby beats up a robot dog with a forklift and quotes Alien
There’s a very Twin Peaks-esque episode in the second season, complete with the red stripy room
One of my favorite episodes has a parody of Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground
The art style is GREAT
The Hex Girls are, like, friends with the Gang and help them out sometimes
(They’re also very hot please step on me)
In the 2nd season, the monsters are real more and more often, and also magic is very much real, which has a whole host of implications for the world
Lewis Black, the comedian (aka Anger from Inside Out) plays a character named Mr. E who acts as a Cigarette Smoking Man-type instigator of mystery
The writers got reallllly close to having Velma and Marcie (aka Hot Dog Water, on account of her wool sweaters) be a couple. They’re not in the final show, but they’re still v queercoded. Marcie also spends some offscreen time in prison.
Every character gets the chance to show their smarts. The Gang is decently knowledgeable in true crime, chemistry, and trap-building (Fred) and it shows
Fred is obsessed with building traps to the point that his house is filled with them. Autistic king
Fred and Daphne have a healthy relationship that ebbs and flows and they work through it in a realistic way
Velma and Shaggy also have a realistic breakup and accept that they’re better off as friends. The romantic relationships in this show are great, y’all
Scooby gets a girlfriend, but it’s not forced because she’s actually an alien who gives an exposition dump
Oh yeah there’s aliens too
In one episode it’s revealed that every generation has a group of four people with an animal mascot, and the Scooby Gang are just one part of a repeating cycle
There is actual death (mostly offscreen)
And, last but not least:
Shaggy’s favorite music genre is polka
Some of the two best lines from Hamilton mashed into one pile of amazingness:
Everyone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman:
HercuLES MULLIGAN!!!!!
I saw a post a while ago that joked about how fanfic writers love to give characters non-specific paperwork when they need the characters to be bored or tired from a long day. They speculated it’s because a lot of fanfic writers are either very young, or typically not very familiar with the jobs they’re writing about. And now that I’m back into reading merlin fanfiction I’m obsessed with how the equivalence of this for Arthur is shit to do with wheat and grain. Merlin wants to know where Arthur is? Oh he’s probably in a boring council meeting about wheat yields. Why has Arthur had a long day? Well he was spending all day surveying the grain storage for the upcoming winter. Arthur’s been arguing with other nobles? Probably because they all want more of the grain grown on their own land. This man is micro managing every single stalk grown in the kingdom of camelot no wonder he never noticed merlin’s magic
OMG SO TWO OF MY FRIENDS WENT TO ARMAGEDDON
AND
ONE OF MY FRIENDS
SHE SENT ME THIS PIC
cause it’s just the right time for it!
all year campers got lots of Christmas activities (everyone’s free to join! If they choose not to it’s totally okay). The most fun is baking Christmas cookies with a big decoration contest! It’s always a close call between the Aphrodite, Apollo and Athena kids.
they also have the whole Secret Santa thing going on, which is a big event and most of the time everyone participates (who doesn’t love getting presents right?)
the gingerbread house contest is almost always won by the Athena cabin. They lost once to the Hephaestus kids cause the Hermes cabin pulled a prank to destroy their house
the seven plus Reyna, Thalia, Will and Nico baking cookies together with Sally
Percy insisting to have at least ONE baking sheet full of blue cookies
him decorating the other with blue sprinkles and icing
Will burning some cookies (will was in duty to check on them) cause he was joking around with the other. Nico making fun of it
singing Christmas songs and drinking hot chocolate during the campfire (and eating the backing contest cookies)
Percy forgetting his gloves so Annabeth needs to warm his hands
Nico forgetting his gloves (on purpose of course) so Will needs to warm his hands
Leo being a human radiator for almost everyone with his powers
at least one trip to the Christmas market with camp half blood
Frank shifting into different cuddly, warm animals every night to keep Hazel warm
watching Christmas movies and eating cookies at Percy’s place (obviously with Sally)
Annabeth absolutely hates Christmas, cause they never really celebrated it at home. She loves the whole feeling of it tho (going to a Christmas market, backing, all the fun stuff to do yk)
The first Christmas with Percy and his family was her best one so far. She knows why everyone loves it so much now
everyone showing their different traditions (cultural or just “home” traditions)
the week before Christmas no fighting in the arena allowed, cause Christmas is the time of peace and showing love
the Apollo kids missing the sun so they installed uv-lamps to get their sun in some way
Annabeth gifting Percy gloves in case he got cold hands and she’s not around to warm them
Hazel gifting everyone selfmade jewellery out of the jewels and metals she’s able to bring to the surface
Frank gifting the most wholesome presents to everyone (he thought about them a lot)
Piper sneaking away from Christmas charity events she had to attend with her father to meet with her friends
Sally inviting everyone to a Christmas breakfast
Will and Nico gifting each other the cutest stuff ever and totally blushing
Leo gifting selfmade animals or other little gadgets
Nico pretending to hate everything but telling Will later that he absolutely adores Christmas (Will totally kept this a secret…)
snowball fights, which are absolutely insane in camp
just basically everyone having a good time
Y’alllllll uhhhhh-
So I finally got around to listening to The Lightning Thief, and uh in My Grand Plan???
Is the strange chime sounding thing after the line ‘I will be great’ supposed to be that prominent and basically sound like a second sound in only one ear to the one from the computer because w h a t ?????????
Ah I've been reading all of my blog posts, and I nearly died reading this one because both The Last Olympian and the last two installments of ToA killed me, if you know what I mean.
I couldn't imagine he would just roll over and surrender. Oh, you need to kill me for your prophecy thingie? Okay, sure! Stab me right here!
This line brought back VERY SAD memories all the way from the Percy Jackson series.
